FY26 Business Update
In FY26, Pentanet delivered a significant improvement in unaudited operating and financial
performance, with Group revenue up 8% on PcP to $24.4 million. Group EBITDA increased to $2.4
million up 74%, due to increased operating leverage and disciplined cost management. Net operating
cash flow of $1.6 million was up 17% on PcP.
Gaming Operational Overview
Pentanet is an NVIDIA GeForce NOW Alliance Partner in Australia and New Zealand, and this NVIDIA
relationship is becoming more strategically important. Pentanet’s CloudGG premium cloud-gaming
services are based on NVIDIA GPUs and Pentanet owns one of Australia’s largest clusters of high-
powered NVIDIA gaming GPUs. Importantly, its Alliance Partner status also enables Pentanet access
to NVIDIA GPU infrastructure upgrades.
Cloud-gaming allows customers to access premium gaming performance through a subscription,
without needing to purchase and continually upgrade expensive gaming hardware. The increased cost
of gaming hardware over the past year has improved the value proposition for premium cloud-gaming
via Pentanet’s CloudGG offering, compared to individual hardware ownership.
During FY26, the deliberate retirement of the Casual plan shifted subscribers toward the higher-value
Performance and Ultimate tiers. This successful migration of customers to premium-tiers demonstrates
that our customers are increasingly valuing a better cloud-gaming experience, leading to a 36%
increase in ARPU to $24.
In FY26, Pentanet attracted gross new subscribers of 31,773, with ~49.5% of these subscribers new to
the platform and 50.5% returning to the platform. Over the past year, the proportion of the paid
subscriber base on the highest tier Ultimate plan has increased from 39% at June 2025 to 59% at June
2026.
Platform engagement was supported by a refreshed content line-up including the launch of ARC
Raiders and ongoing engagement across established titles such as Fortnite, Battlefield 6 and Path of
Exile 2, alongside continued improvements to onboarding and retention.
Pentanet remains focused on scaling GeForce NOW while enhancing profitability by optimising the
subscriber mix, improving the user experience, and maintaining infrastructure efficiency and service
quality.
Telecommunications Operations Overview
The Telecommunications segment continues to provide a resilient, recurring-revenue foundation and
the network backbone supports Pentanet’s broader digital-infrastructure strategy.
Total subscribers increased 4% on PcP to 18,936, with 779 net new subscribers added over the year.
Off-net subscribers increased 13% on PcP to 12,799. Off-net growth was supported by NBN’s Speed
Boost program, which automatically upgraded eligible higher-speed fibre and Hybrid Fibre Coaxial

(HFC) connections during September 2025. The upgrades, offered at no additional cost, increased
achievable speed across several plan tiers, driving stronger customer acquisition within Pentanet’s
NBN base.
In addition, there was continued growth in the higher-margin on-net 5G adoption. 5G subscribers,
included within the on-net base, increased 15% on PcP to 1,039, with utilisation remaining the
strategic focus rather than further network expansion.
Average monthly churn remained low at 1.3%, with on-net churn of 1.2% and off-net churn of 1.3%.
Blended ARPU increased to $96, and recurring revenue ARPU increased 2% on PcP to $92, driven by
subscribers shifting toward higher-speed plans.

Gross New Subscribers 207 3,457 3,664

Net New Subscribers (707) 1,486 779

During FY26, Pentanet developed and launched its new brand campaign, “Nothing But Net”, which
went live on 1 November 2025 in Perth. The campaign represented a deliberate reinvestment in brand
following a period of reduced marketing activity and was designed to rebuild brand awareness and
strengthen market positioning. The launch utilised a broad media mix and is showing early signs of
improved brand awareness and stronger purchase intent among engaged audiences.
Pentanet’s telecommunications strategic focus remains on disciplined organic subscriber growth,
supported by continued investment in marketing to strengthen brand and consideration. Execution will
remain balanced, with continued focus on maintaining positive EBITDA, preserving capital efficiency,
and maintaining service quality across both on-net and off-net offerings.
